I mean he has potential, looked solid in the u-19 world cup. Just hasn't done anything notable yet, but he has had a few solid performances this season. Not ready for international level but definitely someone to keep an eye on

Before this season, he had no performances of note in domestic cricket.

However, he had a very good QEA Cup this year and finished some tight chases. Not many young batsmen in Pakistan are known for finishing the innings and scoring in those type of situations.

The stat that actually matters.

He is just 20 years of age i think and he has everything that Pakistani batting needs right now. His overall stats dont tell you the potential because he has been made to bat at 7 and 8 many times by his seniors and even from that position he scored some match winning innings.

BUT, previously it was seen that he has tempramental issues which i hope he has worked on now. For Pakistani standards, he is still once in a generation kind of talent.

Right now, he's not ready for International stage. There is no history of scoring big runs, needs centuries under his belt in the top
Order.

21 innings and his highest score is 86 on Pakistani pitches against C grade bowlers and he's supposedly the savior of our batting.

In IPL, Schulman Gill was batting at 6/7 for KKR. We shouldn't really be deceived by his IPL stats.
Saif Badar may not be as good as par hype but so far we have no relevant set of stats to judge it. I guess we should wait for now.

It has to be one of the best innings under pressure in Pakistan domestics that I have seen. He came in at 6 and at the other end you had Umar Akmal. You would expect someone of that experience to guide a youngster and try to close the game by himself by playing right till the end. But then again I reminded myself that the batsman is Umar Akmal and that is that. And that came to to true. Like always.

Lahore needed 66 off 48. What you just had to do was to try to get off strike as much as possible and you will get that one off boundary every over. But we are talking about Umar Akmal here. He tried to hit the bowler out of the ground on all the 4 deliveries he faced. Every ball was a dot. And eventually was caught on the 4th delivery. But an inexperienced guy like Saif played with absolute maturity. He tried to took the game right till the end because you know as a batsman you will get a loose delivery that you can hit out of the ground. Few of them actually. He did exactly that. And when the wickets were falling regularly.

Tried to rotate strike off every delivery and trying to convert ones into twos on every opportunity. He was disgusted with himself when he played a rare dot ball. Took the game right till the end and attacked Hammad Azam and it was game over.

Absolutely brilliant from Saif Badar. He is exactly the kind of player that Pakistan need in that middle over and he has to be included in the national team as soon as possible. Even the A games are going to help a lot.

He's still 20 so has time to get better with more domestic cricket under his belt.

Hasn't so far got the stats that would make you sit up and applaud the guy but today's knock in the T20 cup final getting his team over the line will win him some applause.

I don't judge on T20 cameos and for me he has to nail it in the other 2 formats especially 4 day cricket where his stats aren't there yet. He needs to have a good 2 seasons going forward to maybe get a crack by 2022-23 in the Pakistan team as he'll be 22-23.

Gill also played a decent innings yesterday - 148, on a day 4 Ranji wicket at 96 SR, but against Indian tundlers. By the way, Gill's FC stats is 82/77, List A is 48/86, and T20 is 34/146 - indeed classy, whoever bats like him has to be classy as well.

I meant style of batting. I dont know the stats of both and frankly dont care much too as both are young.

Sarfi as captain'll lead us to glory.Babar'll be our best odi bat & Haris'll be world class in tests
